McGregor Denies Civil Rape Allegations in Court

Conor McGregor, a prominent mixed martial arts star, is facing a high-profile civil lawsuit in Dublin, accused of sexually assaulting Nikita Hand in December 2018. McGregor has testified, vehemently denying the allegations, asserting that the encounter was consensual and characterizing Hand's claims as 'full of lies.' Hand's legal team presented evidence of significant bruising and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which she allegedly suffered following the incident. A paramedic who treated Hand described her injuries as severe, while McGregor countered that the bruises could have been self-inflicted during a fall. Despite differing accounts, the court has seen surveillance footage that could impact the case's outcome. The trial continues with testimonies expected to conclude soon.
